Step Memories Gary Singh’s column on One Step Beyond (“Steppin’ Out,� Silicon Alleys, Aug. 26) was really good. I wanted to add some of my own experiences, as well. As you alluded to, it was a good place for punk, metal and other kinds of rock. While I missed the Ramones, I did see some awesome shows: Death on the “Human� tour, the Atheist/Gorguts/Cannibal Corpse tour, Henry Rollins Band with a then

new group named Tool as openers. Another highlight was interviewing the Melvins in February ’93 for KSJS. Dale and Buzz let me talk to them for nearly two hours, and I got to watch their soundcheck. Hearing them play “Night Goatâ€? three times that night was amazing as was their backstage vat of Crunchberries cereal. I also took in shows by other artists ranging from Dick Dale to MC 900 Ft. Jesus. Plus if I didn’t have ďŹ nals or midterms at

SJSU the next day, I could’ve seen Entombed and Dead Horse or the equally awesome triple bill of The Boredoms, Pain Teens and Brutal Truth. All that said, there was a downside. They had a shitty payto-play setup for local bands. A lot of bands had to buy up to 25 to 30 tickets and sell them back. Yet the owner was a already successful businessman who had a patent on the Nady wireless guitar and mic system. It was weird to see pay-to-

that this kind of hate-mongering and inciting of violence will not occur in their communities. Speech may be free, but it comes with responsibilities and consequences. Dean M. Harpster San Jose

VooDoo Kudos

Trough-Feeders

Kudos to Tony Beers and Dave Powell, owners of the VooDoo Lounge in San Jose, for canceling the Oct. 13 performance of virulently homophobic Jamaican musician Buju Banton, whose lyrics call for gay men to be shot in the head and burned with acid. I was one of the community members who started the outcry against Banton’s performance in San Jose, and I speak for many when I say that we are most gratiďŹ ed that Beers and Powell decided immediately to cancel the event, after learning about the controversy surrounding Banton and his lyrics. San Jose joins cities such as Orlando, Detroit, Salt Lake City, Cincinnati, Columbus and Los Angeles, where local folks have stepped up to the plate and said

Good Grief ! So many of the names [running for county supervisor] mentioned are lifetime public trough-feeders (“And They’re Off,� MetroNews, Oct. 7). Forrest Williams has actually done other things, but in watching him when he was a member of the City Council, it sure seemed like a lifetime—yak, yak, yak! Greg Howe From SanJoseInside.com

Handicapping Peter Arellano or Mike Wasserman appear to be the most qualiďŹ ed and competent. John Kerrigan From SanJoseInside.com

J!Tbxzpv uFool iFoiled To the employee at the UHaul, Mr. Thinks He’s Bad-Ass-Ghetto with white Kanye West sunglasses and Raiders cap: you must thrive on the excitement of climbing into a rental after use to score any possessions left behind—it’s the American Dream. I’m sure the reason you skipped high school to make minimum wage at UHaul was the added bonus of stealing any items left behind by the customers. And I’m sure that because you are poor you think you deserved the iPhone you stole out of the truck we returned. After all, us middle-income people don’t deserve the items we work our asses off for, and actually, we only acquire stuff so it can be stolen from us by people like you. Here are the kickers. We know you took it because it automatically connected to the 30-foot-range Bluetooth inside of our vehicle, which was still within the compound. We were receiving calls while we investigated the area for the phone. The footage on the camera shows you getting in and out of the truck. The ofďŹ cer who took the report has said that this is not the ďŹ rst time he has received this kind of call; all noted in the glorious police report we will be submitting to your bosses, regional and corporate. And lastly, and this is the fun one; once that phone dies, even if you charge it, it will be locked forever because you have no password to get through to the main screen. And even if you reset it, the phone has been reported stolen. I hope that stealing a phone you can’t even use was worth your job, your record and your integrity. SEND US your anonymous rants, raves, gripes and diatribes about your co-workers, bosses, enemies or any badly behaving citizen who rankles your ire—or about citizens you admire.

Lunch With Tony

A

S YOU READ THIS, the inaugural Silicon Valley Restaurant Week will have commenced. With such a variety of eateries in the valley, where does one begin? For me, the choice was easy: Alviso. Usually, this off-the-radar locale attracts lunchtime refugees from the concrete jungles of Cisco and TiVo right down the street, as high-tech development inches closer to what was once the last bastion of the simple life. Plus, a new restaurant called Lunch With Tony recently opened up, so off I went. If you don’t know Alviso, it was the South Bay’s original port 150 years ago. To get there, just go all the way up First Street in San Jose until it ends near the salt flats. A primeval frontier from eons past, Alviso is a specimen pinned on the board, a discarded community that has irked San Jose’s Department of Building, Planning and Code Enforcement for decades now. Especially on a weekday at 10am when I recently visited, Alviso is the most desolate place anywhere around here. Bored seagulls hold court. Hallucinations of tumbleweeds begin to emerge. Sounds from roosters and distorted Mexican music emanate from unidentifiable places. It is the home of Vahl’s, the celebrated throwback restaurant that makes O.J.’s look modern. And old-timers in these parts have detested San Jose ever since the city annexed Alviso in 1968. Lunch With Tony occupies a parcel that can only be referred to as a microcosm of Alviso itself: A vacant lot sits across the street; taco trucks occupy the parking lot next door; across another road one finds the ever-encroaching cookie-cutter condos. The cafe is easy to find—you know, the 5200 block of First Street. Owner Tony Santos graduated with a business degree from Santa Clara University, but after becoming disenchanted with the corporate life, he went and got another degree from the California Culinary Academy. “I knew right away who I was as a chef,” he says. “No! to fine dining and white tablecloths. Yes! to gourmet, tasty but completely approachable food.” Tony comes from a legendary and colorful family of Alvisans. His grandfather Tony P. Santos served time as mayor and police chief way back when Alviso was still its own city. He passed in 2004 and a street now bears his name. Tony’s uncle, Richard Santos, currently sits on the board at the Santa Clara Valley Water District. After I showed up for some curried lentil and butternut squash soup, Tony’s dad, also named Tony, rolled in with a pile of historic photos. Together, the father and son buried me with Alviso history, Tony Santos got a with the elder Tony managing to bash business degree from 40 years of San Jose politicians in a SCU, but, disenchanted span of 15 minutes. It was fantastic. “City workers have always been with the corporate life, prejudiced against Alviso,” the elder he got another degree Tony told me, adding that if you grew from the California up in Alviso, you were treated as a Culinary Academy second-class citizen by folks in San Jose. “They could tell where you were from by the mud on your shoes,” he said. “It was embarrassing.” I’ve heard some of these stories before. Alviso history is, um, awash in floods, environmental mismanagement, code violations, battles over slough restoration, propertyowner soap operas, city and county neglect, economic conflicts of interest and much more. It goes way back. The Santos family owns mucho property in Alviso, and Tony loves to recount hostile exchanges with folks in the Planning Department, who he says are endlessly splitting hairs over nonsensical issues. Because they hate dealing with Alviso. Anyway, the building now housing Lunch With Tony used to be a bar in the ’40s, simply called Tony’s. The current Tony eventually plans to cover one wall with the historic photos. When all is said and done, the people of Alviso just want the area to be properly preserved and attended to, while still retaining its small-town feel. However, the elder Tony cautioned, in some cases, that the seeds of progress just cannot be stopped. “Vahl’s now accepts credit cards,” he said. Been to Alviso lately?

Got a Tip for The Fly? fly@metronews.com

October 14-20, 2009 Though the house was undamaged, most of the furniture had fallen over. The family had no power for about four days. “Our neighbors ran an extension cord so we could have lights and watch television,” she says. “And I learned to appreciate peanut butter on bread because we ate that for every meal for a couple of days.” Judy Coughlin, an assistant librarian at the time, remembers walking into the town library after the earthquake to find everything on the floor. Other than the mess, however, the only real damage was from a piano that went through the window in the children’s area. “We’ve been told the town building was built as a bomb shelter so it was pretty sturdily built,” she says. Nevertheless, the library was forced to close for a couple of weeks. “All the books had to be picked up, everything had to be braced, so that took a while,” Coughlin says. But elsewhere, the damage was significant. “I remember the next morning walking downtown and seeing the damage to the Beckwith Building,” she says. “Downtown was a ghost town.”

Remembering Loma Prieta

Twenty years later, the devastating earthquake is recalled Downtown Down fondly in a town that got hit hard By Colleen Watson The earthquake had dealt

a serious blow to Los Gatos’ downtown business district. It shook the facade off the Beckwith Building, built in 1893. Joe Hargett, owner of Dolce Spazio, remembers running out of his office there and up the hill. He also remembers seeing the dust rising off the mountains, “You’re accustomed to the shaking,” he says, “[but] the cloud of dust was kind of strange.” Dolce Spazio was a popular gelato shop and one of the first

NYONE who was in the Bay Area on Oct. 17, 1989, remembers exactly what they were doing and whom they were with at 5:04pm, when the magnitude 6.9 Loma Prieta Earthquake hit. Residents of Los Gatos were hit harder than almost anyone in Santa Clara County. Homes were knocked off their foundations, some of the oldest buildings on Main Street were badly damaged and fires broke out throughout

the town. Residents went without power for days while some moved into tents in their yards. Diane McNutt, now the vice mayor, remembers driving down North Santa Cruz Avenue with her husband, Michael Cronk. At 5:04pm, they were passing in front of the Bank of America. “I thought he was playing around— joggling the wheel around,” she recalls. “But then I saw people falling on the sidewalk.” McNutt remembers looking

out at the Santa Cruz Mountains in the distance. “It’s a very strong image for me to see,” she says. “It was almost like smoke. but it was dust rising up off of the mountains. Then I realized it had been an earthquake.” It took the McNutts half an hour to get to their home near Los Gatos High School. She remembers a near chaos, “streets being closed, sidewalks bent up and people just going nuts. There was just so much confusion and fear.”

espresso bars to open in Los Gatos. “We’d been in the Beckwith building since about 1980,” Hargett says. That was over. Most of the business district was shut down for months. After the earthquake, Dolce Spazio had to move the gelateria, and opened in a new location on North Santa Cruz Avenue two months later. But fallout from the quake lasted much longer than that. The problem, according to Hargett, was that people weren’t coming to Los Gatos anymore. Everyone seemed to think that the whole town had been destroyed. “We launched a program to enlighten people that Los Gatos was still alive and that there were many, many merchants still running,” he says. “We all worked together and a year later we had a block party downtown and sort of celebrated a one year anniversary.” And now, 20 years later, downtown Los Gatos is once again thriving. As with seemingly all disasters, those who lived through the Loma Prieta

Earthquake in Los Gatos remember how the community came together to try and help each other out. Everyone remembers that C.B. Hannegan’s, the beloved Irish pub, was one of the few businesses that had power after the quake; that owner John Hannegan kept the place open and fixed food for shell-shocked people who wandered in. They recall the volunteers who helped reshelf the thousands of displaced books that had flown off shelves at the library. Loma Prieta is remembered as a moment when the community banded together to get through one of the most difficult times in its history. “For years it would come up in conversation and everyone around the table or at a meeting would want to share what they were doing at the time,” McNutt says. “You just needed to talk about your experience, whether it was major or minor. It seems to be part of human spirit to share that.” M

Braid New World

E

SSENTIALLY two plaits of hair haloing the head, the milkmaid braid is a sweet, romantic new “undo” for this fall. This trendy alternative to the boring ponytail keeps tresses out of one’s face with an extra dash of femininity and style. Milkmaid braids really started blowing up on the celebrity scene this summer, seen wrapped around the craniums of longhaired beauties like Leighton Meester, Rachel Bilson and Nicole Richie. DH86G 9: A6 G:CI6 even outfitted every single model on his spring 2009 runway with milkmaid braids that were interwoven with colorful strips of fabric to match the models’ attire. Fortunately, his hairdo is relatively easy to create without the help of a celebrity stylist. A little bit of practice in front of the mirror and anyone can master the milkmaid braid. Women need several things before they begin styling: long hair (at least shoulder length), a wide-tooth comb, bobby pins and elastic hair bands. Having bangs is also a plus for a softer take on this ’do, but pulling one’s locks straight back also works fine. Step One: After working a small amount of smoothing product through to control frizz, take the comb and separate the hair into two even sections. If you are feeling creative, try a zigzag part for a playful spin. Once the two sections have been established, you have the option of securing them at the head into low pigtails with the elastic hair bands. Though not a requirement, for a really thick mane, putting it in a band will help it stay in place. Step Two: Grab one of the hair sections and start to braid it. Keep the braids tight for a neat, fresh look, or braid loose and wispy for a tousled, more natural approach. Either way, it helps to hold the hair upward while braiding, as it makes the plait lie better on the head. Step Three: Braid the other hair section, trying to make it as identical as possible to the first. You should now have two separate braids. Step Four: Pull both braids up over the top of the head across the part, toward the opposite ear, like a headband. Step Five: Secure each braid in place with bobby pins, being careful to tuck each braid’s end underneath the opposite braid, so there are no chunks of hair sticking out. Finish this unique updo off with a generous amount of hairspray to keep it in place throughout the day. Jessica Fromm

Choices of The Chosen BVg` @^iVd`V

TheatreWorks presents a strong stage version of Chaim Potok’s coming-of-age novel ‘The Chosen’ By Ben Marks

EUVEN MALTER and Danny Saunders are Jewish teenagers who live five blocks from each other but might as well be from different worlds. Certainly that is the way things seem to each boy in the new TheatreWorks production of The Chosen, now running at the Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts. Reuven (Jonathan Bock) comes from an orthodox household, where Judaism is the foundation for activism and engagement in the world. Danny (Thomas Gorrebeeck) is the eldest son of a legendary Hasidic rabbi, who is so suspicious of outsiders that he must approve his son’s friends, including Reuven. Reuven wears civvies and a dorky sweater-vest. Danny wears a woolen rekel, the long black coat of Hasidic men, with payot dangling like dreadlocks in front of each ear. OK, so they are different, but after school, both boys spend hours studying the Talmud and arguing with their fathers about conflicting scholarly interpretations of arcane aspects of Jewish law. Just as important, they

both love a good game of baseball. These, it turns out, are powerful bonds. Similarly, their differences draw them together. Danny is slated to follow in his father’s footsteps by leading his congregation when the great man retires. Reuven’s dad wants him to be a college professor. Naturally, each boy is curious about the other’s preordained future. Without even understanding it at first, each yearns for aspects of the path the other has but does not want. The play begins in Hebrew, spoken by Reuven as a young man (Michael Navarra). Behind him, Hebrew letters are illuminated on a wall—when translated, they read “Both these and those are the words of the living God.” Navarra also speaks to us about silence and how “For a word to be spoken, there must be silence before and after.” The Talmud, he tells us, rewards words with a coin but silence with two. Navarra wins us immediately with his enthusiastic explanations of Jewish mysticism, so we are happy to tag along when he puts on his

narrator’s cap and announces that the year is 1944, and the place is Brooklyn, N.Y. Navarra proceeds to shadow the action throughout most of the play. In one especially good scene, he is both the play’s narrator and Reuven’s voluble baseball coach. As Navarra looks on, Bock’s Reuven goes into the windup, Gorrebeeck’s Danny returns a devilish grin, there’s the pitch and Danny smacks a line drive straight at Reuven’s head. Reuven and Danny possess inquisitive minds and fine moral backbones, both of which are on display when Danny visits Reuven in the hospital. Danny has come to apologize for almost blinding Reuven and to confess his confusion over wanting to actually kill Reuven when he hit that line drive. Gorrebeeck and Bock work well together, as they surmount their distrust of each other long enough to find common ground. Writers Aaron Posner and Chaim Potok, who penned the 1967 novel of the same name, really got the banter right—the parallel self-discoveries of Reuven and Danny are a lot of fun to watch.

Each boy has a father at home, each of whom, of course, could not be more different. Rolf Saxon’s David Malter is the play’s moral compass, cautioning his son about, for example, the perils of judging others based on outward appearances. Saxon does a fine job with the almost saintly David Malter, although I think he called a bit too much attention to his early coughs. The other father is Reb Saunders, played by Corey Fischer of Traveling Jewish Theatre. Fischer makes Saunders an imposing figure but not an intimidating one. I was never as scared of Fischer’s Reb Saunders as Reuven says he was. I wish I had been because it would have provided a counterpoint to the kindly old rabbi, of whom we see a lot. THE CHOSEN, a TheatreWorks production, plays Tuesday–Wednesday at 7:30pm, Thursday–Friday at 8pm, Saturday at 2 and 8pm (8pm only Oct. 31) and Sunday at 2 and 7pm (2pm only on Nov. 1) through Nov. 1 at the Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts, 500 Castro St., Mountain View. Tickets are $26–$62. (650.463.1960)

Silicon Valley Restaurant Week

FIVE CHEFS THAT MATTER Five chefs among the inaugural Restaurant Week participants epitomize the quality, diversity and passion that defines the region’s dining scene. They come from very different culinary traditions, yet each exemplifies the evolution of the valley’s restaurant community and points toward an increasingly delicious future. Besides cooking great food, the thread that ties them together is their creativity and drive to create distinctive dining experiences you won’t find elsewhere.

Calafia Cafe’s

Charlie AYERS

LIKE OTHERS who have struck it big in the valley, Ayers admits that he was “lucky” to be hired as Google’s executive chef. Getting rich and famous wasn’t really part of his plan. “I had no idea. All I wanted out of working for this Internet company was a life, with weekends off.”

9^cV HXdeeZiidcZ

When the chance to become the Internet search giant’s employee number 53 came up, he had been working as a private chef for “the family from hell.” Ayers had spent years in the kitchens of the valley’s popular midprice eateries, including Stoddard’s Brewhouse in Sunnyvale and Blue Chalk Cafe, Left at Albuquerque and Peninsula Creamery in Palo Alto. After spending part of the early 1980s following the Grateful Dead, he found a better way to get ¨

Charlie Ayers

A few years later, the Deadhead was sitting in on Google’s executive management meetings. Company admins included him in the emailed notices because his title was Executive Chef. Properly fed employees, it turned out, were a strategic asset in an industry where programmers were notorious for subsisting on chips and sugary carbonated beverages. “I would go to marketing and branding meetings and watch everything they were doing to build this machine that would one day go public . . . to get a free education,” he says. Ayers, who’s not a vegetarian, served the Google employees dishes like tofu-lentil loaf and yogurt with fruit and granola because he believed it would keep them alert. “The body spends all that energy metabolizing an animal-based protein. It spends less energy metabolizing a plant-based diet,” he says. “If I eat eggs and hash browns with bacon or sausage, I want to take a nap afterwards.” Understanding that variety and theater would determine the success of his nutritional mission, “I was always surprising them with something new every day,” he says. “One time, I flew in 300 pounds of fresh Maine lobster. But I forgot to get lobster bibs. So we used these long disposable dishwashers’ aprons. They thought they were big lobster bibs. We got a kick out of watching these really intelligent people dressed in dish aprons and going to town with the lobsters.

The element of surprise was part of the culture, and the menu wouldn’t be announced until five minutes till noon. “People expect burritos and pizza, and I gave them anything but that. They used to send executives down to find out how we could deliver a product on time, all the time, when the well educated guys couldn’t,” he laughs.

‘They used to send executives down to find out how we could deliver a product on time’ Ayers left when the kitchen became a mass production operation. “We served 5,000 meals a day. I had five sous-chefs, 50 cooks, 75 dishwashers. I rode around from kitchen to kitchen in a golf cart. ‘Bring in Charlie,’ they’d say. ‘The media’s here.’ I’d wave.”

“I had gotten a really good deal on the lobsters. They were one-claw lobsters, amputees.

Ayers left in 2005 with 40,000 Google shares that were worth a reported $26 million and the opportunity to pursue his dream. He opened Calafia Cafe and Market in Palo Alto’s Town & Country Village shopping center in January 2009.

“The next day I served hot dogs. We had tofu dogs as well,” Ayers recalls.

Now, anyone in Silicon Valley can eat as well as the early Google

“The CFO leaned over to [Google co-founder] Larry [Page] and asked, ‘Does he know what he’s doing?’

millionaires did. “You shouldn’t have to be wealthy to be healthy,” Ayers free-styles. “That’s why we have nothing over $20.” And even though a framed panoramic wide-angle shot of the Grateful Dead’s 1982 Frost Amphitheater performance dominates the cafe wall on its Stanford side, don’t expect to see kitchen staff wearing tie-dyed clothing or macramé plant hangers overhead. Ayers sports a black apron with crisp white pinstripes, and banks of dual flat-panel monitors are suspended from the ceiling. Orders are wirelessly beamed from servers to the cooking stations as they are punched in tableside. Glancing up at the monitors like a Burger King fry cook, Ayers expedites the tickets. “We’re shaving minutes off an experience that can easily turn into an hour-plus. A long ticket time for us is 11 minutes. Average time is eight minutes,” Ayers says.

good seats than camping in the parking lot waiting for the gates to open. Ayers would prepare meals as a volunteer backstage cook at Bay Area shows, then shed his apron and sat on the stage’s edge as soon as the first notes pierced the air.

While waiting for an order to arrive, a diner can walk over to the cafe’s market side, pick up a box of quinoa pasta or a prepared meal in a sealed to-go pouch and self-scan it at a checkout station. The seamless fusion of organic farming and timesaving technology give Calafia a uniquely Silicon Valley stamp. The valley’s egalitarian culture is reflected as well in the ethic at Calafia, where Javascript jockeys dine alongside legendary CEOs and venture capitalists. Ayers says that “treating high-profile people like regular folks, not fawning over them, and treating regular people like celebrities” is his goal. When one of the technology community’s famous billionaires sneaked in through the service entrance with a party of eight on a busy night, Ayers refused to jump them ahead of patrons who were patiently waiting 45 minutes for a table. His clientele ranges from guests “in shorts and flip-flops to people who look like they’re going to a Michael Mina restaurant.” When they glance at one another, Ayers says, they worry that they’re

underdressed or overdressed. “I reassure people that they’re fine.” Despite Ayers’ obvious embrace of technology, he hasn’t jumped on the “molecular cooking” trend and turned his kitchen into a science laboratory. While other culinary envelope-pushers prepare dishes with liquid nitrogen, lasers and hypodermic injections, Ayers prefers woks and wood-burning pizza ovens. He believes green technologies like solar and wind power will make their way into the food production cycle but that overreliance on electronic solutions has its limits. He keeps a “knuckle-buster” to manually swipe credit cards when the power goes out. While some celebrity chefs use teleconferencing links to qualitycontrol dishes on the opposite coast, Ayers likes to taste his food before he puts it on the plate and make personal visits to the farms and ranches that produce the food he serves. He strives to buy from growers and ranchers within a 150mile radius of Calafia, preferring vegetables grown in East Palo Alto over ones flown in from Chile. “Transparency in the trail where the food comes from” is one of Ayers’ goals. He encourages customers to ask questions. “I am very inquisitive, and I talk to my vendors a great deal. I always take an opportunity to meet them to better educate myself so I know the people who provide everything. Are they a family business? What’s their history? Do they treat their employees well?” Dispensing with fancy trappings and high prices while maintaining high standards in sourcing ingredients and “approachable” cuisine defines a business strategy that Ayers hopes will allow him to locate cafes in other Bay Area cities. Like a Google search bar that emphasizes speed and simplicity over fashion, Ayers articulates a strippeddown mission. He’s not trying to invent the fanciest dishes or compete with Iron Chef egos—just operate “a very casual everyday place that serves good food,” Ayers says.

Eat This Week W

ELL, it’s about time. New York City has one. San Diego’s got one. Ditto San Francisco, Boston, Dallas, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Providence and Charlotte. Now Silicon Valley has a restaurant week of its own, too.

The restaurant week trend has been embraced by cities across the country because it offers value-seeking food lovers the chance to set their appetites free without dropping much money. For restaurants looking to distinguish themselves, it’s a chance to step up and step out with menus that showcase what they do best. Everybody wins. For a region as gastronomically dynamic as Silicon Valley, the weeklong food festival is overdue. The first-ever Silicon Valley Restaurant Week runs Oct. 14–21 with prix fixe three-course dinner menus for only $35. Organized by Metro’s CEO, who was tired of being offered restaurant week menus when he traveled but never at home, it comes at a propitious moment. The economy notwithstanding, these are exciting times to be eating in Silicon Valley. Foodwise, things are good and getting better. If there’s one word that describes Silicon Valley’s restaurant scene it is diversity. Because of Silicon Valley’s dynamic demographics and the growing sophistication of the dining public, the region’s restaurant scene is increasingly rich. Silicon Valley no longer has just Chinese food. We’ve got Szechuan food, Hunan food, dim sum, Dong Bei food, Hong Kong–style food and Islamic Chinese food. You like Japanese food? What kind? Silicon Valley offers sushi, of course, but also restaurants that specialize in izakaya cooking, ramen, yakitori and rarefied kaiseki-style cooking. What’s particularly interesting to see is the creation of new categories of cuisine as innovative chefs merge ethnic cuisine with modern techniques and the creative use of ingredients. The results are hybridized, contemporary restaurants such as Junnoon, Savory and Zitune that take traditional culinary traditions and push them in new and exciting directions. A vibrant food scene develops slowly, but the key ingredients are a diversity of high quality restaurants and a dining public willing to go out and patronize them and try new things. Add great local ingredients, beautiful spaces, vibrant commercial districts and mix it all up and pretty soon you’ve got something delicious. A showcase event like restaurant week can help catalyze the food scene as well. I think of restaurant week as being like a film or music festival, but instead of a bunch of cool movies coming to town for a limited engagement, restaurant week brings great deals to restaurants that are already here. And with nearly 90 participating restaurants, you can be sure you’ll never get the same meal twice.

Quattro’s

Alessandro CARTUMINI

It’s fall, and chef Alessandro Cartumini is desperately trying to get his hands on some porcini mushrooms, but the lack of rain is making finding the wild fungi difficult. “Right now I’m going crazy for porcinis,” he says. “I can smell them but they’re not here.” As the son of a pastry chef who was born in northern Italy and studied under a Sardinian chef, Cartumini’s Italian bona fides are well established. But as a chef working in the agricultural bounty of the Bay Area, his style of cooking is shaped by the seasons and local products. “There is so much great product here,” he says. “I’d be stupid if I didn’t use them. The ingredients speak for themselves.” While he has long favored olive oil from Italy, he has begun using olive oil from a producer in Sacramento. “Italian olive oil practically runs in my veins, but I’ve found a local version that is quite good.” While most Silicon Valley Italian restaurants specialize in the spaghetti and meatball school of Italian-American cuisine, Cartumini, 36, delves deeper into regional Italian food while incorporating celebrated local ingredients. In addition to his use of local products, Cartumini’s 100-pound, $10,000 pasta machine sets him apart. “Fresh pasta is my forte,” he says. The pasta extruder allows him make fresh pasta shapes, some of which he can only find in dried form in Italy. With the first downpour of fall, you can bet locally foraged porcinis will turn up on Cartumini’s menu soon.

Zitune’s

Chafik LAROBI

While he has lived in the United States since 1988, the greatest influence on Moroccan-born chef Chafik Larobi continues to be the tastes and smells of his mother’s kitchen as a child. “Coming home from school I’d go into the kitchen and lift up the lids to try to get a taste, and she’d chase me out,” says Larobi, a fast-talking man who brims with enthusiasm for the food of his homeland. Years later, working in top restaurants in Paris, Boston and San Francisco, he was exposed to an altogether different tradition, of French-based fine dining. But rather than pull him in opposite directions, Larobi, 43, has fused these twin culinary influences into a exciting, highly personal cuisine that is firmly rooted in Morocco but takes small and sometimes big steps into new territory as he draws on Western ingredients and techniques to create something new. Moroccan food is still relatively unknown in the United States. Given America’s infatuation with Mediterranean food from Italy, France and increasingly Spain, that’s something of an oddity. Moroccan food shares the warm, generous flavors of the Mediterranean but adds additional layers of complex spices. It’s exotic and yet easily accessible for newcomers. To the extent that Americans are familiar with Moroccan food, it’s generally confined to couscous and tagines with some belly dancing on the side. Larobi says couscous is an important part of Moroccan food but represents only a small slice of a cuisine that draws on influences from France, Africa, Spain, Portugal and the Arab world. And the belly dancing is an American gimmick. “I take my mother’s cooking and try to make it better while still being true to the Moroccan flavors,” he says. “I’m trying to take Moroccan food to the next level. One of my favorites dishes at Zitune is the hearty yet refined m’rouzia tagine, a slow-cooked, flavor-filled lamb shank served under the peaked dome of a tagine and seasoned with ras el hanout, a traditional Moroccan spice blend. It’s been a fixture on the menu since the restaurant opened almost three years ago and for good reason. The duck confit pastilla illustrates the Westernized Moroccan food Larobi is aiming for. Wonderfully rich preserved duck and foie gras are layered between papery Moroccan pastry with caramelized onions and almonds. Chicken or partridge are the traditional ingredients but Larobi makes the duck and goose liver an inventive and delicious upgrade. “No one would come up with a dish like this in Morocco,” he says. But in Silicon Valley, anything is possible. ;Za^eZ 7j^igV\d

Sent Sovi’s

Josiah SLONE

Slone’s thoughtful, analytical mind initially drew him to a career in electrical engineering, but it was the fusion of art and science that led him out of the lab and into the kitchen. Slone, 32, began his cooking career at Renee’s in Santa Monica, and then at age 21 he landed the position as head chef at Bloomfield Great House in Jamaica and later Jake’s Treasure Beach. Back in California in 2000, he worked at Palo Alto’s Peninsula Fountain Grill before he and his wife, Khin Khin Slone, bought Sent Sovi from celebrated chef David Kinch in 2003. As the chef and owner of the intimate, 35-seat California-French restaurant, Slone succeeds or fails by his own hand. That makes the stakes higher for him—and for diners. “What makes us different is the food is personal to me,” he says. “I cook food that I want to eat.” Like most fine dining chefs working in Silicon Valley, Stone is inspired by local ingredients. “The ideas behind our cuisine fundamentally start with the products.” But his ideas for new dishes come from a deeper, more visceral place—music, books, visual images or even smells. “I could be walking down the street and it just triggers something in my mind,” he says. “I don’t feel any pressure to follow trends. I work for myself.” His culinary creations are at once adventurous and familiar. He serves an upmarket rendition of the classic “Hangtown Fry” with a Hobbs bacon confit cooked for 18 hours paired with fried oysters, quail egg and American sturgeon caviar. For Silicon Valley Restaurant Week, Slone has created three special entree choices: lobster, mushroom and roasted shallot risotto; porcini-rubbed chicken with pearl couscous, roasted Brussels sprouts and golden raisin-harissa jus and butter-poached prawns in saffron broth with root vegetables.

Sakoon’s

Sachin CHOPRA

At Mountain View’s 4-month-old old Sakoon, chef Sachin Chopra’s incorporation of nontraditional ingredients into regional Indian food might seem avant-garde or even outrageous to some, but his culinary experimentation is perfectly in line with the grand sweep of Indian cuisine over the past five centuries. The Indian food we know today—curries, kebabs, biryani, vindaloo—seems firmly established, yet it is the result of centuries of conquest, emigration and trade with the outside world. “Traditional” Indian food has been shaped by change, innovation and adaptation. It’s anything but a static cuisine, and Chopra, 34, seems to have absorbed his history lessons well. Chopra takes up the tradition of cross-fertilization and experimentation to create an exciting menu of regional Indian food that also expresses a cross-cultural modernity. Eating Chopra’s food is like pushing the fast-forward button on South-meets-West gastronomic evolution. His menu is inspired by local ingredients, something that’s de rigueur for Western-style restaurants but a rarity at Indian restaurants. Sakoon’s exotic décor complete with fiber-optic lights, glowing floor panels and loungelike interior sets it apart from every other Indian restaurant in Silicon Valley, but it’s the food that really distinguishes Sakoon. Chopra serves a rack of lamb perfumed with lavender and thyme, two spices not traditionally used in Indian cuisine. His sautéed caviar-topped sea scallops with smoked paprika and a mangochickpea salsa are flat-out stunning. There’s a well-chosen wine list to match. In spite of all the innovation, the menu is rooted in traditional Indian food and includes several well-executed standards like the dal—savory stewed lentils. “If we didn’t have dal, we would be shunned,” he laughs. Chopra has cooked in some of the country’s premier restaurants where he honed his expertise with Western and Indian cuisine. He grew up in New Delhi and went on to graduate from the Culinary Institute of America in New York. He first worked as a line cook at New York City’s famed Daniel restaurant. From there, he went on to become sous-chef at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in New York City. After a stint as a private chef, Chopra was hired as executive chef at New York City’s Tiffin, a restaurant that specialized in fusion Indian cuisine. He went on to open his own restaurant, Tapasserie, a small-plates restaurant that combined the flavors of India, Spain and the United States. A year later the busy chef became executive chefpartner at Spice Grill, also in New York.

;Za^eZ 7j^igV\d

Chopra has been cooking in Silicon Valley since 2003. He was recruited as executive sous-chef at San Jose’s beloved Amber India. From there he went to Mantra in Palo Alto where he was executive chef. At Sakoon, he is establishing a reputation as one of the Bay Area’s pre-eminent practitioners of modern Indian cooking. “This is my brand,” he says. “Indian food is such a vibrant cuisine and we’re taking it to another level. I can let my creativity run wild. It’s like we have magic dust with all those spices.”

BOOK REVIEWS

Nothing Was the Same

E

VERY WRITER walks the line between the engaged and the detached—scientists turned writers, most of all. Kay RedďŹ eld Jamison is a professor of psychiatry and an honorary professor of English at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. In her memoir Nothing Was the Same, she writes with delicate lucidity about her marriage to Dr. Richard Wyatt, a prominent medical warrior against schizophrenia. As Jamison’s previous book An Unquiet Mind tells, she herself is afflicted with manic depression; moreover, she wrote the standard textbook on bipolar illness. Her marriage was harmonious from both the point of love and career; it was Wyatt who encouraged Jamison to take the great risk of writing about her own illness. When Wyatt succumbed to cancer—a disease he’d fought since his youth—Jamison had to ďŹ nd her own way back through grief. The clinician and the poet in Jamison harmonize in describing this halting journey. Jamison’s plain but never guarded prose makes every page of this memoir fresh and accessible. One notes their delight in simple things. She writes of her and her husband’s love of the TV series Alf, of the owers and jewels he brought her, of the care he took watching over her, to make sure hard work and too many late nights didn’t open her up to her disease. This is a slim yet profound book, unadorned by fatuous spirituality, by a writer eager neither to conceal nor exaggerate her feelings. It gives grieving its complete due, and at the same time there’s nothing at all depressing about it.

Drunk

T

WENTY-FIVE artists take readers on a charter ride on Le Bateau Ivre in Drunk: A Comic About Bar Stories, a small-press, limited-edition book. Reprints include Ivan Brunetti’s keen itty-bitty bestiary of beastly drunks, and his two-page autobiographical story of extreme self-loathing—extreme even by the standards of adult comics, which means ďŹ ve oors below Dostoevsky’s underground. Five ďŹ ne reprinted pages by Kim Deitch feature Waldo the Cat, megrim of a drunk and disorderly pioneering animator disgusted by the cuteness of the animation world of the 1930s. Some of the most bizarre outsider art ever seen is the drawings of Norman Pettingill, full of visions of North Woods revelry: crowded bucket-of-blood taverns where grimacing taxidermed animals giving the eye to huge-bottomed hags. Jay Pink’s scary narrative of drinkers he has known includes a confession to being accessory after the fact in one drunken murderâ€”ďŹ ction, hopefully. Evan Dent’s “Hot Dog Millionaireâ€? illustrates a low-ball dirty joke, of the sort people enjoy when they’re in their cups. What makes it stick, though, is not the vile story, but Dent’s strange ďŹ gures—humanoid dogs or bears, devoid of fur and of any touch of cuteness. Jay Bailey, Chad Brown, Sean Russell and Erin Stellmon take the smart road of reporting the strange dialogue one might here anywhere the neon glows and the drunkards ramble. The introduction is by renowned Las Vegas tavernaut Jarrett Keane.

World of Difference The United Nations Association Film Festival in Palo Alto is all informative—and lots of it free

By Richard von Busack

I

N THE SPACE of nine days, Oct. 17–25, the UNAFF— maybe the most worthwhile and best-curated film festival in the Bay Area—brings 25 separate programs to numerous local spaces. The program is free for Stanford students and rife with free events for the rest of us. “Energy and the World” is the theme of this year’s all-documentary fest. The event also celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights—talk about your customs honored in the breach. The Palo Alto–based festival, sponsored by a friends of the United Nations group, screens 50 films from 50 countries. The real beauty of this festival is the pan-educational quality: there’s informative work here on international law, health issues, woman’s rights, ecology and activism. One learns not only about the parts of the world kept out of the nightly news and off the entertainment world’s radar but also about what people can do to change things. The headliner this time around is local treasure director/producer Dorothy Fadiman, bringing her new film, Woman by Woman: New Hope for the Villages of India. The group Janani is trying to bring birth control to the rural areas, and Palo Alto’s Fadiman was there to record their efforts. Fadiman’s When Abortion Was Illegal was nominated for the 1992 Oscar for short documentaries. It is, among other things, a first-person account of the back-alley abortion that almost

killed her. At the UNAFF’s press conference, Fadiman noted, “I was strongly urged by PBS to get a man to narrate the film, on the grounds that it would be less biased.” Fadiman will be on hand Oct. 19 at 7pm at the Aquarius Theater in Palo Alto for a tribute and an interview with the festival’s director, Jasmina Bojic. The night features three of Fadiman’s films, including Reclaiming Their Voices, about the instances of voter fraud in rural New Mexico. The opening-night session, Oct. 17 at the Aquarius, includes the documentary Power Paths. Essential to L.A.’s power grid was Southern California Edison’s Mojave Generation Station in Laughlin, Nev., a coal burner fed with slurry via a pressurized pipeline from the Four Corners area. Mr. Peabody’s coal company, famed from the John Prine tune “Paradise,” strip-mined the Navajo and Hopi nations and sucked out 1 billion irreplaceable gallons from the desert aquifer to brew the slurry. And though the operation provided union jobs for Dine and Hope, the tailings caused the usual diseases. To top it off, nationals in the Four Corners area were still off the grid, cooking with wood and lighting with kerosene. When Southern California Edison got its federal payoff for closing the Mojave plant, it believed that the money should go to Edison’s shareholders; the Just Transition Alliance begged to differ. Peter Coyote narrates Bo Boudart’s documentary on what happened next.

This year’s documentary Oscar finalist, The Garden, is also on the opening-night plate. It’s a terrific story of L.A. strife mixed with everyone’s dream past-time: urban gardening. A beautifully tended patch of L.A. river-bottom land falls prey to the power politics of L.A.’s blighted SouthCentral. It’s one of those movies about private property rights that make you want to bring back the guillotine. The 25 sessions on view include a free matinee children’s program at the Aquarius on Oct. 18, with the food-centric What’s on Your Plate? and Naming Pluto, the true story of the euphoniously named Venetia Phair, the 11-year-old girl who came up with the name for the recently decommissioned planet. Bringing free movies to East Palo Alto, at the Eastside Theater, the UNAFF hosts an Oct. 20 screening of My Neighbor, My Killer about the efforts to bring closure to the Rwanda slaughter. Oct. 19 has a free matinee of The Strangest Dream (at Stanford) about the little-known Sir Joseph Rotblat—the physicist who left the Manhattan Project and won the Nobel Peace Prize for his work in nuclear disarmament. The Oct. 20 screenings include The Road to Fallujah, shown in conjunction with the Arab Film Festival. Journalist Mark Manning investigates the aftermath of the terrible fighting in Iraq. The other half of the double bill is a lot lighter, in a sick comic sort of way. Welcome to North Korea! is designed for us slaves

of the Rick Steves genre. A Czech tour group gets to visit North Korea as long as the members don’t talk to strangers and don’t bring camcorders. Good thing the Czechs have centuries of practice in nodding, smiling and then doing whatever authority doesn’t want done. And North Korea is everything you’ve heard—and more. Visit the Office of Questions and Answers in Social Sciences! See the Korean War cyclorama depicting the way the U.S. Army was utterly crushed for all time! Gawk at gimcrack 300-foot-tall Stalinist monuments ugly enough to harelip the blind! Kowtow to the colossal idol of old man Kim, or else! And rub shoulders with a tour group whose bullshit detectors are finely calibrated by years of Soviet occupation. The closing-night benefit, Oct. 25 at Cubberley Auditorium at Stanford, is another winner; including food and music by the group Potential. The subject, as in Welcome to North Korea, is public bamboozlement. The good thing about the very obedient is that they’re very credulous. In The Yes Men Fix the World, directors and stars Andy Bichlbaum and Mike Bonanno prank the Powers That Be—one more demonstration at the UNAFF of how much can happen when you get the word out. THE UNAFF takes place Oct. 17–25 at Stanford, the Aquarius and other Palo Alto locations. See www.unaff .org/2009 for details.

Reviews by Michael S. Gant, Steve Palopoli and Richard von Busack.

New Arab Film Festival Includes: Salt of the Sea, a Palestinian drama about a Brooklyn-born girl who wants to revisit her roots (Oct 17, 6pm); Basra, about an Egyptian photographer drawn into the invasion of Iraq (Oct 17; 8:30pm); Remnants of a War, about the continuing effort to clear Lebanon of unexploded cluster bombs (Oct 18, 12:30pm); the ghostly love story On a Day Like Today (Oct 18, 5pm), and the underworld drama Casanegra (Oct 18, 7pm.) (Plays Oct 17-18 in San Jose at Camera 12. www.aff.org) (RvB) An Education (Unrated; 95 min.) Lone ScherďŹ g (Wilbur Wants to Kill Himself) directs the story of a 16-year-old working-class British girl (Carey Mulligan) in the 1960s tempted into jettisoning a scholarship in favor of leaving for Paris with a man twice her age (Peter Sarsgaard). Alfred Molina and

Emma Thompson co-star; script by Nick Hornsby, based on Lynn Barber’s memoir. (Opens Oct 16 at Camera 7 in Campbell, the Century Cinema 16 in Mountain View and CinĂŠArts Santana Row.) Five Minutes of Heaven (Unrated; 90 min.) Downfall’s director Oliver Hirschbiegel made this ďŹ lm about a meeting of reconciliation between a Catholic man (James Nesbitt) whose brother was killed in Belfast in 1973, and the Protestant assassin himself (Liam Neeson). (Opens Oct 16 at Camera 3 in San Jose.) Law Abiding Citizen (R; 108 min.) An unstoppable killer (Gerard Butler) terrorizes Philadelphia. Only prosecutor Jamie Foxx can stop him. (Opens Oct 16 valleywide.) New York, I Love You (R; 110 min.) See review on page 41. (Opens Oct 16 at Camera 3 in San Jose and Century Cinema 16 in Mountain View.) Paranormal Activity (R; 99 min.) This is being touted as “the next Blair Witch Projectâ€?—meaning, essentially, horror’s new runaway phenomenon—but there are very important differences that should help it avoid the dreaded Blair backlash. There are similarities, sure. Writer-director

Oren Peli made this for $15,000, and the plot is about what you can expect anybody to get out of $15,000. It has a young couple, played by Katie Featherston and Micah Sloat using their real names (in what seems like an homage to Blair Witch), believing something unusual and disturbing is going on in their house. Micah buys a hand-held camera to try to capture it on ďŹ lm, recording day and night. This leads to the movie’s biggest aw, also a weakness in Blair Witch, CloverďŹ eld and almost any other movie that uses this device, what I call Why Am I Picking Up the Camera Right Now Syndrome. It pulls me out of the movie when I have to think about, “Wait, would someone really go pick up the camera and ďŹ lm this if that was happening?â€? However, it also leads to lots of genuinely creepy footage, and a lot of powerful shocks. Peli’s excellent sense of timing makes this the scariest movie anyone will see this year. The biggest difference is that unlike Blair Witch, Paranormal Activity delivers on its name, with extreme prejudice. (Plays at selected theaters and opens Oct 16 at Camera 12 in San Jose.) (SP) A Serious Man (R; 105 min.) See review on page 43. (Opens Oct 16 a Camera 7 in Campbell and at CinĂŠArts Palo Alto.)

M E T R O S I L I C O N VA L L E Y OCTOBER 14-20, 2009 FILM

The Stepfather (PG-13) A remake of a family thriller about a really, really bad stepfather. Stars Dylan Walsh, Sela Ward and Penn Badgley. (Opens Oct 16 valleywide.) UNAFF See story on page 38. Where the Wild Things Are (PG; 101 min.) Spike Jonze directs a big-screen version of Maurice Sendak’s beloved children’s classic. (Opens Oct 16 valleywide.)

Revivals The African Queen/To Have and Have Not (1951/1944 )The gin-soaked Cockney river rat Charlie Allnut (Humphrey Bogart) has his boat, and his heart, requisitioned in service of the King—or more specifically in the service of a “psalm-singing, skitty old maid”: Katherine Hepburn. John Huston’s adventure/romance has aged beautifully— both leads showing off their specialties (careless man, learning to care; unbending lady, learning to soften). BILLED WITH To Have and Have Not. A ripping tale of gunrunning in the Caribbean, with Warner Bros.’ typically atmospheric adventuremovie sets, better than the real thing. Humphrey Bogart stars as an individualist made to see the big wartime picture, with the help of Lauren Bacall to stiffen his backbone. (Plays Oct 14-15 in Palo Alto at the Stanford Theatre) (RvB) The Apartment/Some Like It Hot (1959/1960) Two Chicago musicians (Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis) of the Jazz Age accidentally witness a gangster massacre. Disguised as women in an all-girl orchestra, they hit the road for Florida. Their new pal is the tightly clad Sugar Kane (Marilyn Monroe, never better), a ukulele player with a weakness for saxophonists. Lemmon and comedian Joe E. Brown (your standard comedic Palm Beach millionaire) wrap up the film with a famous last line. BILLED WITH The Apartment, in which a minor functionary (Jack Lemmon) receives temporary status through pandering to a lecherous crew of his superiors, especially Fred MacMurray; Shirley MacLaine is the tough-mouthed but tenderhearted elevator girl who snaps him out of it. Terrific locations help the mood of Manhattan isolation, and MacLaine is adorable—but the film has a serious moralizing streak voiced by the recently demised Jack Kruschen, as the doctor upstairs. An influence on Mad Men, but the influenced show is superior. (Plays Oct 16-17 in Palo Alto at the Stanford Theatre.) (RvB)

New York Stories ‘New York, I Love You’: There are 8 million stories in the Naked City—unfortunately, they used these

I

S THE FUNNIEST thing about New York the fact that so many people there pretend to be who they aren’t? Even if this were the case, New York, I Love You would wear out its welcome fast. The lamentable follow-up to Paris je t’aime is connected by unenlightening tie-in sequences, confusing the question of who directed what. The credits note Emmanuel Benbihy as creating the concept and Tristan Carné as creating the premise—and that kind of crediting should warn you right away that no one seems in charge of this movie. Ten directors are listed, in addition to a separate director, Randall Balsmeyer, for the connecting sequences. Hate to say it, but by far, the director who uses the short-story format best is the much-maligned Brett Ratner. His segment is coarse; it is lewd. Its components: a talkative pharmacist (James Caan) who is both loving father and procurer, getting his daughter (Blake Lively) a date at the prom and not being too concerned about what times she comes back. Lively certainly lives up to her name in this brisk, cheerful joke with an unpredictable ending; the girl has a commendable enthusiasm for screwball humor. Second prize goes to Allen Hughes of the Hughes brothers, working from a script co-written by Xan Cassavetes. Drea de Matteo plays a lady commuting to a second date, carrying second thoughts with her. Hughes keeps de Matteo’s exotic, sensual face in close-up and alternates it with the oily yet rough surfaces of a subway car. In order of worthwhileness: No complaints here about Shunji Iwai’s sequence starring Orlando Bloom, regarding a romance conducted by phone. Natalie Portman’s sequence is a stodgy bit of multiculti contrast between pious Jain husband and pious Jewish lady: a short inconsequentiality directed by Mira Nair. Those who admire Fatih Akin’s films will be astounded how minor his episode turns out to be: an unrequited romance between a Chinatown tea-store clerk and a moribund, Raymond Burr–size artist. Joshua Marston delivered the excellent Maria Full of Grace and is tapped to direct the adaptation of the novel Fortress of Solitude; here, though, he rubs together the combined talents of Eli Wallach and Cloris Leachman and ends up with a kvetch-a-thon. Then it gets worse. Yvan Attal, of the insufferable My Wife Is an Actress, delivers two short episodes about pickups. In one, Robin Anne Wright and Chris Cooper plays a pair who seemingly meet by chance outside a restaurant for a smoke, for a session of those identity-game shenanigans seen everywhere from the opening of the Pitt-Jolie Mr. and Mrs. Smith to improv classes in every corner of this suffering globe. In the second Attal, a lone woman (Maggie Q) gets a load of a wandering writer’s highly pornographic line (Ethan Hawke). By far, the deal breaker is a tone poem by Shekhar Kapur about a tasteful heartbreak-hotel room, an aged desk clerk dressed in black (John Hurt, looking weirdly like Einstein) and the ruins of a once great lady (Julie Christie). Its tone of lament and unrelenting beigeness made it look like an outtake of Toronto, I Have Great Respect for You. Richard von Busack NEW YORK, I LOVE YOU (R; 110 min.), directed by Fatih Akin, Yvan Attal, et al., written by Emmanuel Benbihy, Tristan Carné, et al., photographed by Benoît Debie, et al., and starring Blake Lively and others, opens Oct. 16 at Camera 3 in San Jose and Century Cinema 16 in Mountain View.

Silicon Valley Jewish Film Festival This weekend: Letters for Jenny (Oct 17, 7:30pm), Diego Musiak’s hammy weeper about an Argentine Jewish girl (Gimena Accardi) who receives a series of letters from her long-dead mother; life gets more complicated when she’s impregnated by her boyfriend, who is sometimes known as “the Black Sheep of Spanish pop.” Then it’s off to Israel, where Jenny finds out the rest of her mother’s story; plenty of traveloguing there at the Wailing Wall, etc. Plays at the Oshman Family JCC, with live tango demonstration. Then (Oct 21 at Camera 7, 7:30pm): Blessed Is the Match documents the short life of Hannah Senesh, RAF warrior and martyr (at age 23) to the fascist Hungarian Iron Cross. Raised in the Lubitsch world of affluent Budapest, she was idealistic enough to go to Palestine and become an agricultural worker on a kibbutz. Then came the war— well-wrought dramatic re-enactments bring old photos to life. The title comes from one of Senesh’s poems. (Plays Oct 17 in Palo Alto at the Oshman Family JCC, 3921 Fabian Way, and Oct 21 in Campbell at Camera 7.) (RvB)

Arsenic and Old Lace/His Girl Friday (1944/1940) In a decrepit Brooklyn Victorian, a pair of sweet old ladies follow the serial killer’s trade. Like some of George S. Kaufman’s popular comedies, the forced drollery has aged badly, and star Cary Grant was never himself in this kind of desperate laughseeking venture. Some help comes from Peter Lorre and Raymond Massey, the latter in the part Karloff played on Broadway. BILLED WITH His Girl Friday. Big-city newspaper editor Walter Burns (Cary Grant) faces the simultaneous loss of his ex-wife and his star reporter: Hildy Johnson (Rosalind Russell), who proposes to remarry, move to the sticks and have kids. Meanwhile, an execution is scheduled, and only Hildy has the smarts and the spirit to expose it as politically motivated railroading. The best movie about newspapers, ever. (Plays Oct 20-22 in Palo Alto at the Stanford Theatre.) (RvB) Going on 13 Kristy Guevara-Flanagan and Dawn Valadez’s excellent documentary follows four East Bay girls from ages 9 to 13. It has some resemblances to the BBC/ Michael Apted 7 Up series, but it’s, if anything, faster-moving, has a wider social scope, and of course it was done on a much tighter budget. It’s instructive to see Isha, the Sikh girl on raised on the tightest leash, still being lured away from tradition (she gives the camera an eloquent snarl when she’s asked about how special it is to be turning 13). The precocious Rosie’s solitude and literary aims grow over the course of the film. Ariana dreams of basketball and lives through the troubles of holding a working class family together, and Esmerelda suffers through body-image woes. The directors eschew talking-heads interviews in favor of animation and f ly-on-the-wall footage of schoolrooms and schoolyards. It’s a joy to watch. The filmmakers truly repay the trust of these four girls. (Oct 16 at 11pm on KTEH Channel 54.) (RvB) Mr. Smith Goes to Washington/The Man Who Knew Too Much (1939/1956) A Boy Ranger leader (James Stewart) goes to Washington to clean up the Senate, with only his secretary (Jean Arthur) for help. Meanwhile, a chorus of cynics observe and predict doom. Director Frank Capra has an all-star lineup of cynics: the great character actor Thomas Mitchell, an expert at portraying unstable but likable drunks, co-stars with Claude Rains, Eugene Pallette, Guy Kibbee and Edward Arnold (Avarice, Gluttony, Sloth and Wrath—that’s four of the Seven Deadly Sins right there). It was Capra’s highlight, except for the coda of It’s a Wonderful Life. BILLED WITH The Man Who Knew Too Much. Postwar (and far more interesting) Stewart, bamboozled by a spies plot, speeds from Morocco to London to find his wife (Doris Day). The counterpoints and undertones aren’t all in Bernard Herrmann’s score—the great man is visible at Royal Albert Hall in the finale. (Plays Oct 18-19 in Palo Alto at the Stanford Theatre.) (RvB) Niles Film Museum Regularly scheduled programs of silent films. Oct 17: Gigolo (1926). Based on Edna Ferber’s novel about a wealthy heir (Rod La Rocque)—ruined by the folly of his mother (Louise Dressler)—who becomes a World War I hero and a professional escort with a license to tango. Filmed in Pleasanton (apparently playing rural Wisconsin). Billed with Ring Up the Curtain (1919) with Harold Lloyd, and With Love and Hisses (1927) with Laurel and Hardy. Judy Rosenberg at the piano. (Plays Oct 17 at 7:30 in Fremont at the Edison Theater, 37417 Niles Blvd.) (RvB)

T’S A VERY SERIOUS movie, A Serious Man. All the themes in the Coen brothers’ previous ďŹ lms blend harmoniously. Here they reconcile the warring impulses to create apocalyptic tragedy and screwball comedy. Here, as in Raising Arizona, is the startling cartoon atness of the United States. Here is the hideo-comic wrath of Americans and the way the temper ares up so suddenly in whimsical, friendly men. Here is the balance—as in Fargo—of what morality costs and what it’s worth. A Serious Man is a vast Jewish joke that follows Kafka’s suggestion that in the struggle between you and the world, back the world. The action unfolds in suburban Minneapolis in 1967, close to the place and the time in which the Coen brothers grew up. In high-angle shots, the neighborhood is as remote as Mars: wide empty streets, square houses embedded in crabgrass and seething neighbors. A meek professor, Larry Gopnik (stage actor Michael Stuhlbarg, looking like a dispirited Harold Lloyd), teaches physics at a small college. As was the case for “Lucky Jimâ€? Dixon, Gopnik is tantalized with the possibility of tenure by the head of the math board, a monster of passive aggressiveness. One afternoon, a Korean exchange student tries to bribe Gopnik into a passing grade. Thus begins the siege against Larry. Larry’s wife announces that she’s deeply in love with their neighbor Sy Ableman, a clammy, polyester-clad swine; Fred Melamed’s unforgettable acting depends heavily on an oleaginous voice, though this touchy-feely home wrecker is appalling on so many other levels. Larry must move to the Jolly Roger Motel. With him comes his unemployable brother, Arthur (Richard Kind), an obese holy fool with weaknesses of the esh. For reverse angles, the Coens follow Larry’s son Danny (Aaron Wolff) and the boy’s cowlike indifference about his father’s woes. The marital struggles are but interferences from Danny’s own routines of watching F-Troop, smoking marijuana and trying cheat his way through his upcoming bar mitzvah. Larry gets the promise of mercy from his next-door neighbor (Amy Landecker), a bronzed, deadpan siren who, like Danny, is tuned in to the San Francisco sound. Some postmodern moments give A Serious Man a vaudeville kick: a prologue about the appearance of a demon in the old-time Jewish ghetto is staged like a lost episode of Mario Bava’s Black Sabbath. In another of this ďŹ lm’s parables, a God carves a Hebrew message into the teeth of a gentile to teach—what?—some indecipherable lesson, like the physics equations on Larry’s chalkboard, like the Hebrew letters Danny is too dumb to learn. Even the leer of the Red Owl drugstore sign, peering out of the screen, seems pregnant with terrible meaning. What seemed like caricature in the earlier Coens is softer here. A Serious Man suggests very lightly that there might be some hope in the old rituals, something basic and kind. Photographer Roger Deakins and composer Carter Burwell do wonderful work making these episodes coalesce into a powerful fever dream of persecution and encroachment. As in Kafka, every avenue of escape is displayed just so the workers can rush over and nail up the “No Exitâ€? sign. And as when reading Kafka, what keeps one from sinking into despair is the rich, heady humor. A Serious Man throbs with age-old mysteries to which one can only succumb, with the hope of being released into pain-free nothingness. Richard von Busack A SERIOUS MAN (R; 105 min.), directed and written by Ethan and Joel Coen, photographed by Roger Deakins and starring Michael Stuhlbarg, opens Oct. 16.

‘Aja’ Major 9Vccn 8a^cX]

As Steely Dan brings its most famous album to the San Jose Civic, revisiting records on the road has become a rock trend By Leilani Clark

N June 2009, college-rock darlings the Pixies made an announcement that thrilled aging indie rockers. The band would commemorate the 20th anniversary of their release Doolittle with a tour featuring a live replay of the album in its entirety. For a band who hasn’t hit the recording studio since 1991, the buzz around the Doolittle tour was tremendous, with people clamoring to see the band perform their most beloved album. According to the Pixies’ publicist Holly Ellen Robinson-Fitzgerald, ticket demand for the Doolittle tour is even bigger than the Pixies’ initial 2004 reunion tour. “It took about an hour for London’s 20,000 and Brussels’ 8,000 tickets to be grabbed up, while all 2,600 tickets for the two-night stand in Dublin were gone in under two minutes, causing a third show—also sold out—to be added,” she stated in a tour press release. “At this stage of the game, we’re not trying to reinterpret the music,” Black recently explained to the website Music Radar. “We’re more about replicating records and replicating certain expectations rather

than getting all jazzed about it.” As more and more bands announce the performance of entire albums live, the question arises: Is this an artistically motivated attempt to re-create an emotionally compelling creation, or is it an easy way to get fans to plunk down hardearned cash for sold-out shows?

Better With ‘Aja’ In the case of Steely Dan, who will perform their album Aja in its entirety at the San Jose Civic on Tuesday, Oct. 20, there’s an element of karmic payoff for fans. By the time the band recorded the album in 1977, they were no longer playing live, so it never did get a proper tour, despite being their first platinum-seller and the record that came to define them to the general public. Aja is also an interesting case since Steely Dan’s legendary obsession with studio wizardry resulted in an incredibly produced, musically hypercomplex suite of songs. For them to revisit this album in particular is certainly more ambitious than Mötley Crüe dusting off Dr. Feelgood (which they

really did, by the way). The list of big-name acts performing old albums in their entirety continues to grow. In September, Bruce Springsteen treated Chicago fans to a reprise of Born to Run. The Melvins dusted off their most accessible album Houdini for a short tour in 2008. Devo recently announced a plan to play back-toback nights of Q: Are We Not Men? A: We are Devo! and Freedom of Choice, revisiting the pinnacle of their career success. Like the Pixies, some of these artists have not written a new song in years, but that hasn’t stopped them from “giving the people what they want,” which seems to be recycled tunes sung in a new era. Fans are torn. While some have rushed out to buy tickets, others view the albums-in-their-entirety tours as a money-making grab. One virulent blogger on NPR’s All Songs Considered blog grumbled that the Pixies should get back together for real, record a new album and tour with new songs or “hang it up.” So when exactly did the concept of performing an entire album live from start to finish begin? Barry

Hogan, founder of All Tomorrow’s Parties—a yearly music festival curated by different artists—has publicly claimed responsibility for the trend, saying it began in 2004 with the Stooges playing Fun House for his festival’s successful, ironically named Don’t Look Back series. Don’t Look Back has attracted numerous artists. In 2008, Public Enemy dusted off It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back. While at first reluctant to revisit the politicalrap opus, they embraced the concept and ended up playing the album on tour. Cat Power has performed her complete melancholy gem The Covers Record at ATP, while Sonic Youth treated ecstatic fans to their epic guitar-noodler Daydream Nation during a 2007 tour. But what about the potential dark side to the trend? How many bands are going to jump on the bandwagon before it overflows with the scary prospect of MC Hammer breaking out the gold pants for a reprisal of Please Hammer Don’t Hurt ’Em?

album Love on CD, vinyl and cassette, had no qualms about buying a ticket for this summer’s performance of the album in San Diego. He also doesn’t think there’s cause for concern regarding the avalanche of bands playing entire albums live. “I knew exactly what to expect as far as setlist was concerned. I wouldn’t have gone if I thought they were playing a mix of new and old material,â€? he says. “Playing an entire album guaranteed I won’t have to listen to a lot of new songs that weren’t that good.â€? Rather than seeing the tour by a nostalgic favorite as a grab for money, Breece has a different take on the albums-in-their-entirety concept: he believes that the art of the album is being increasingly lost. “We increasingly live in an iTunes world where people listen to just a couple songs by an artist and rarely listen to a full album from start to ďŹ nish. An entire album can have the arc of a novel or a ďŹ lm, being a complete artistic piece,â€? he says. “It’s nice to listen to the performance as a complete piece rather than a greatest-hits shuffle. It revitalizes the album as a work of art.â€? Other fans have loved seeing albums in their entirety strictly for the nostalgia factor. Last year, Liz Phair celebrated the 15th anniversary of her most critically successful album, 1993’s Exile in Guyville, with a series of performances. Jessica Duran of Sonoma County was at the San Francisco show, and for her, being transported back in time was one of the night’s most enjoyable factors. “It was fantastic! Like a time warp I couldn’t have dreamed up better,â€? Duran says. “Liz was all denim cut-offs and ripped tights, just like the days when her album came out. It was like she re-created her entire early-’90s self, and it was perfect.â€? To Duran, seeing Exile in Guyville allowed fans to remember the Phair that they had loved years before. “It was deďŹ nitely a way for her to revisit and reconnect with her early success, before she ‘jumped the shark’ and started singing cotton candy lyrics,â€? Duran says. With tickets selling for upward of $50 to $70 for most in-its-entirety tours, there’s something to be said for knowing exactly what one is getting into. When the Pixies play Doolittle, everyone will know that “Bone Machineâ€? will be followed by “Debaser.â€? The spontaneous glory of impulse and improvisation, in a way, might be lost to the comfort of the expected, the backward fall into nostalgia’s warm embrace. It can be fun to remember old times, but like the high school quarterback after school is out, there’s a danger in relying too much on past glories. As long as the money rolls in and the crowds continue to yearn for the oldies but goodies, bands will be content to do just that—in its entirety. STEELY DAN perform ‘Aja’ on Tuesday (Oct. 20) at 8pm at the San Jose Civic; they perform Internet requests on Wednesday (Oct. 21) at the San Jose Civic. Tickets are $55–$228. (800.345.7000)

Because you sell yourself like you’re 52 issues of Time: “Get this cheesy touch-screen organizer, with only ďŹ ve functions you already don’t use on your cell . . . FREE with your paid subscription!â€? Or, rather, “Date me! There’s more cheap, wildlifethemed jewelry where this came from!â€? There’s a reason you didn’t scamper off to the mall to score dolphin bookends for fat old Gladys in accounting—even if she did once remark on the joy she felt watching Flipper frolic among the sperm whales. Let’s be honest: Your offerings to your other co-worker didn’t come from the goodness of your heart but the lack of brass ones in your pants. And what did you think would happen, she’d be so blown away by the gift of ear tortoises that she’d agree to have a drink with you, and never mind that tiresome preliminary step of asking her out? Women are attracted to generous men, but you show generosity by, say, springing for donuts for your co-workers after the donut budget gets cut. You can give a lone female co-worker the occasional gift—as long as it’s in the realm of “Hey, I was at Starbucks. Know you’ve had a hard week, so I thought I’d bring you a latte.â€? Whatever you do, don’t give the gift that

tells a woman “I’ve been logging your every word for the past two years and went to the mall and shopped based on the transcripts.� This is creep street, gift-wrapped: a boyfriend present from some co-worker she speaks to in passing. Sure, this sends the message you’re thinking about her, but probably thoughts along the lines of “I touched this, and you’re going to put it on your ear, and then I’ll be touching you.� If a hunter approached eating the way you approach dating, he’d sit in his truck sipping hot chocolate, sighing, “I really wish a deer would shoot himself in the head, wrap himself in a tarp, and use his remaining energy to bind himself to my bumper.� No, rejection isn’t fun, but it costs less than doing everything you can to avoid it. A speedy rejection is the least costly of all. As soon as you know you’re interested in a woman, you ask her out. You’ll have to steel yourself for about 10 seconds of feeling like poo under her shoe, should she turn you down. But, even if she does, if you haven’t been festering over her for years, it should be easier to act like you’re cool with it. As a gutsy guy who tried but struck out, you might even garner admiration from your co-workers for your approach—saying it with manhood instead of baby forest animals with hypoallergenic posts.

But, you seem to be OK with that, and that’s pretty cool. You should still see a doctor who specializes in sexual medicine to make sure your lack of desire isn’t a symptom of something, perhaps low testosterone, which is associated with a number of serious medical problems. People who have no desire for sex typically refer to themselves

as asexual. You don’t connect with them by marching up to random women on the street and announcing that your favorite thing to do in bed is play dead. You go on special-interest dating websites like asexualitic.com, where you’ll ďŹ nd loads of prospective partners; maybe even some who’ll be willing to get kinky with you in bed: “Whaddya say? Shall we read for a few minutes before we turn off the lights?â€?

Be] e\\ WdZ [Wj

EYj$ '*#('" (&&/ EYj j$ '*#('" (&& /

6g^Zh (March 21–April 19): You say you not only want to be loved, but that you also want to love? Then learn the fantasies and symbols and beliefs that hold people’s lives together. Be interested in feeling the crushing weight and deep comfort of their web of memories. Every now and then, dive in and swim along in their stream of consciousness. And yes, be willing to accompany them when they’re writhing in their personal hells as well as when they’re exploring the suburbs of paradise. All these tasks will be exceptionally worthy of your time in the coming weeks, Aries. IVjgjh (April 20–May 20): Right now you’re like a sulking cherry tree that hasn’t bloomed for years but then inexplicably erupts with pink flowers in midautumn. You’re like a child prodigy who lost her mojo for a while and then suddenly recovers it when her old mentor comes back into her life after a long absence. You’re like a dormant volcano that without any warning spurts out a round of seemingly prophetic smoke signals on the eve of a great victory for the whole world. <Zb^c^ (May 21–June 20): “Dear Rob: Thanks for

being a continued source of careful thinking! With the help of you and the rather ruthless teachers who are my friends and loved ones, I’m learning the lessons that are most important for me to learn—like how rigorous I have to be in figuring out my intentions, how impeccable I have to be with formulating my desires, and how precise I have to be in expressing myself. Sometimes I wish I could just go back to being an aimless street punk in Berkeley. But in the end I prefer this tough path I’ve chosen.” —Hard-Working Gemini Dear Hard-Working: This is an excellent phase in the Gemini life cycle to concentrate on what you named: rigorously figuring out your intentions, impeccably formulating your desires, and expressing yourself precisely.

8VcXZg (June 21–July 22): The British playwright

Colley Cibber, who was born 55 years after Shakespeare died, thought that the Bard’s historical drama Richard III needed improvement. He made extensive revisions, transposing scenes and inserting new material. For 150 years, Cibber’s version was widely performed, effectively replacing Shakespeare’s rendition. I suggest you borrow Cibber’s strategy for your own in the coming weeks. Take something you like and personalize it; make it into your own. Be sure to acknowledge the original, of course. But have fun blending your influence with the prototype as you create a useful and amusing hybrid.

AZd ( July 23–Aug. 22): The corny but sometimes

useful adages of folk wisdom are still being created afresh in the 21st century. Their breeding ground is no longer the tavern or marketplace, as in centuries past, but rather the Internet. I’ve plucked one of these funky gems out of the ethers for you to contemplate: “Noah’s Ark was built by amateurs, while the Titanic was built by professionals.” How exactly does this apply to you? According to my reading of the astrological omens, you’re in a phase when a good imagination will count for more than strict logic; when innocent enthusiasm will take you further than know-it-all expertise; and when all the work you do should have a playful spirit fueled by a beginner’s mind.

K^g\d (Aug. 23–Sept. 22): To extract enough gold to make a wedding ring, a mining company must process a ton of ore. In a similar way, many writers generate a swamp of unusable sentences on their way to distilling the precise message they really want to deliver. Please keep these examples in mind as you evaluate your own recent progress, Virgo. It may seem like you’re moving at a crawl and producing little of worth. But according to my analysis of the omens, you’re on your way to producing the equivalent of a gold ring. A^WgV (Sept. 23–Oct. 22): Were you ever a tiger in one of your past lives? If so, this would be an excellent time to tap into that power. If you have never lived the life of a tiger, would you be willing to imagine that you did? During the coming week’s challenges, you will really benefit from being able to call on the specific kind of intelligence a tiger possesses, as well as its speed, perceptivity, sense of smell, charisma and beauty. Your homework is to spend 10 minutes envisioning yourself inhabiting the body of a tiger.

HXdge^d (Oct. 23–Nov. 21): Your circumstances

aren’t as dire as you feared, Scorpio. The freaky monster in the closet is bored with spooking you and will soon be departing the premises. Meanwhile, one of your other tormentors is about to experience some personal sadness that will soften his or her heart toward you. There’s more: The paralysis that has been infecting your funny bone will miraculously cure itself, and the scheduled revelation of the rest of your dirty secrets will be summarily canceled. I hope you’re not feeling so sorry for yourself that you fail to notice this sudden turn in your luck. It may take an act of will for you to wake up to the new dispensations that are available.

HV\^iiVg^jh (Nov. 22–Dec. 21): “Jazz music is an

intensified feeling of nonchalance,” said playwright Francoise Sagan. Keep that in mind during the coming week, Sagittarius. Whether or not you actually play or listen to jazz, do whatever’s necessary to cultivate intensified feelings of nonchalance. It’s extremely urgent for you to be blithe and casual. You desperately need to practice nonattachment as you develop your ability to not care so much about things you can’t control. You’ve got to be ferociously disciplined as you transcend the worries and irritations that won’t really matter much in the big scheme of things.

8Veg^Xdgc (Dec. 22–Jan. 19): “There are two rules

for ultimate success in life,” wrote L.M. Boyd. “First, never tell everything you know.” While that may be the conventional wisdom about how to build up one’s personal power, I prefer to live by a different principle. Personally, I find that as I divulge everything I know, I keep knowing more and more that wasn’t available to me before. The act of sharing connects me to fresh sources. Open-hearted communication doesn’t weaken me, but just the reverse: It feeds my vitality. This is the approach I recommend to you in the coming days, Capricorn. Do indeed tell everything you know.

6fjVg^jh ( Jan. 20–Feb. 18): Writing in The New Yorker, Adam Gopnik named two characters from literature that well-educated people tend to identify with. “Men choose Hamlet because every man sees himself as a disinherited monarch,” he said, while “women choose Alice [in Wonderland] because every woman sees herself as the only reasonable creature among crazy people who think that they are disinherited monarchs.” That’s a funny thought in light of your current omens, Aquarius, which suggest that you’re a reasonable creature who clearly sees how much you’re like a disinherited monarch. The omens go on to say that there’s a good chance you will have excellent intuition about what to do in order to at least partially restore yourself to power. E^hXZh (Feb. 19–March 20): “Dear Rob: Help! I

have a sinking feeling that the man I love and want to be with for the rest of my life is almost but not quite courageous enough to be truly and deeply intimate with me. What should I do?” —Downcast Piscean Dear Downcast: Ask yourself if there’s anything you can change about yourself that will help him feel braver. For instance, is there any way, however small, in which you’re manipulative, untrustworthy, dishonest or unkind? If so, fixing that in yourself could allow your lover to feel a lot closer. By the way, it’s an excellent time, astrologically speaking, for all Pisceans to alter their inner states in order to alter the world around them.

You think you’ve got problems? My assistant Una claims she had the same tune running through her head off and on for 27 years. Only after laborious research online was she able to establish what it was: a concerto by Antonio Vivaldi, which at least has some class. Can you imagine 27 years of “Achy Breaky Heart”? As is all too often the case with the interesting parts of science, we don’t know much about this phenomenon but we have a good name for it: earworm, a translation of the German Ohrwurm. (Use the German if you want anyone to pay attention to you in the faculty lounge.) People have been interested in earworms for a while now—Mark Twain used one as a plot device in his 1876 story “A Literary Nightmare.” They’re the most common type of what’s called “involuntary imagery,” sounds, pictures, smells and even tastes that repeatedly come to mind unbidden. One theory is that earworms are a form of mild musical hallucination (normally a rare experience), the distinction being that with an earworm you (a) usually aren’t on drugs or suffering from schizophrenia and thus (b) are fully aware there’s no actual music being played outside of your skull. Another theory is that earworms are a side effect of your brain trying to consolidate memories, akin to what happens in REM sleep. Yet another possibility is pondered by neurologist Oliver Sacks in his book Musicophilia: earworms might simply be a consequence of our being surrounded by music in our lives whether we want to be or not. A more promising line of investigation in my opinion is to focus on the earworminess of particular songs. Una contacted the office of James Kellaris, a professor of marketing at the University of Cincinnati who’s styled himself “Dr. Earworm” after years studying the subject, to learn more about a theory of his known as “cognitive itch.” According to Kellaris, “certain pieces of music may have properties that excite an abnormal reaction in the brain”—in other words, your brain detects something extraordinary or unusual about the music that compels attention. Your brain tries to process the itch by repeating it, which only makes things worse—not unlike an epidermal itch. Kellaris finds the music most likely to cause an earworm has one or more of three key qualities: repetitiveness, simplicity, and what he calls incongruity, often an unexpected

rhythmic variation. One example he gives is the song “America” from West Side Story, which features a repetitive melody and shifting time signatures. A 2003 study by Kellaris showed that nearly 98 percent of people experienced earworms, usually involving sung rather than instrumental tunes. (Una’s Vivaldi was a relative rarity, obviously indicating her superior intellect.) While women and men experienced earworms equally often, women had to put up with them for longer and were more likely to be peeved. Kellaris’s research also suggests that musicians and those inclined to worry are particularly susceptible to worm attacks. In the early 1980s Chicago parking garage bigwig Myron Warshauer used earworms as the basis of a patented “musical theme floor reminder system,” in which a different wellknown song plays in each floor’s elevator lobby. When you come back hours later and can’t remember what floor you parked on, all you have to do is pay attention to the tune that’s (theoretically) still running through your head— the song titles are listed opposite the buttons in the elevators. Despite all this, no one really knows what causes earworms or how to get rid of them. Common removal techniques include replacing the tune with a different one, trying to distract oneself with something else, listening to the piece in question, talking to others about the earworm or just waiting the worm out. In an unscientific poll on the Straight Dope Message Board, more than half of 91 respondents reported experiencing earworms daily, with popular music by far the most common culprit. A final infobit: A 2005 survey found 7.5 percent of respondents were inflicted by their least favorite song as an earworm, and more than a third hated the song’s lyrics more than anything else about it. The most loathed tune? No surprise here: Billy Ray Cyrus’“Achy Breaky Heart.”
